Sweet and savory onion and fig jam with creamy brie, crispy prosciutto and roasted garlic on top of buttery toasted crostini makes an impressive appetizer that’s just as easy to make for 20 as it is for 50.
Ingredients
-
Baguette or French bread, sliced into 1/2-inch thick rounds
-
8 ounces Brie cheese, thinly sliced
-
1/2 cup fig jam
-
1/4 cup chopped walnuts, toasted
-
Fresh thyme leaves, for garnish
-
Olive oil for brushing
-
Salt and black pepper to taste
Directions
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Toast the Baguette Slices: Place the baguette slices on a baking sheet and brush one side with olive oil. Toast them in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are crisp and slightly golden. Remove them from the oven and let them cool.
Assemble the Crostini: Spread a generous amount of fig jam on the untoasted side of each baguette slice. Top the fig jam with a slice of Brie cheese.
Return to the Oven: Place the topped baguette slices back in the oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until the Brie is softened and slightly melted.
Toast the Walnuts: While the crostini are in the oven, you can toast the chopped walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes, or until they become fragrant. Be careful not to burn them.
Finish and Garnish: Once the crostini are done, remove them from the oven. Sprinkle the toasted walnuts over the Brie and fig jam. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper, and garnish with fresh thyme leaves.
Serve: Arrange the Brie and Fig Jam Crostini on a serving platter and serve them warm as a delightful and savory appetizer.
